Angel’s Envy Cellar Collection Volume 5 is a limited-edition rye whiskey finished in rare ice cider casks, showcasing the brand’s signature innovation and elegance. As part of their highly acclaimed Cellar Collection series, this release pushes boundaries by aging their rye whiskey in French oak barrels previously used to age apple ice cider—a sweet, concentrated dessert-style cider from Canada. The result is a beautifully balanced, fruit-forward rye with deep complexity, subtle sweetness, and vibrant spice.
Only a limited number of bottles were released, making this one of Angel’s Envy’s most collectible and intriguing expressions to date.
